Object edge highlight color reverts to black while moving objects.
Ever since the illustrator 2026 update, when I move objects the highlight color changes to black like in the attached video. I'm currently running 30.3 and it seems like it has only become more and more prevalent. Obviously this isn't great when you're working against a darker color in the background. Is this a feature that I've missed a checkbox to turn off or is this a glitch? For the techy peeps I'm running a MacBook pro Intel (2017 I think) and I'm on Tahoe 26.3.1.

Stopped happening after reinstalling Ai anew. If this happens to you still and the same doesn’t work, please comment and share your setup specs.

I seem to have fixed this by uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator. Sadly I was hoping it would take care of the slow deselect issue as well, but that persists.

Oh I should also add that it seems to only happen when smart guides are enabled.

Hmm it does sound related however, I don't have Real-Time Drawing and Editing enabled and I'm not seeing similar issues with guides. I've also noticed that it happens randomly. If I'm dragging a single object it seems like it happens 75% of the time and when I'm moving several objects at once only one of the objects will switch to black.

This one feels related:
Dragging a guide with Real-Time Drawing and Editing mode enabled makes black or cyan edges appear for all objects
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50809592Does dragging a guide at your side leads to a similar effect?
